Degree of a PolynomialIf p (x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p(x) is called the degree of the polynomial.For example 5x - 11 is a polynomial of degree 1 3x^2 + 1 is a polynomial of degree 2

Linear PolynomialIt is a polynomial of degree 1

Quadratic PolynomialIt is a polynomial of degree 2

General form of a Linear Polynomial in one variable ax + b where a and b are real numbers and a is not equal to 0

General form of a quadratic Polynomial in one variable ax^2 + bx + c where a, b and c are real numbers and a is not equal to 0

Zero of a PolynomialA real number s is said to be zero of a polynomial p(x) if P(s) = 0

Maximum number of ZerosA polynomial of degree n can have maximum n zeros.
